The Assam government has embarked on a transformative journey to address land rights through the launch of Mission Basundhara 3.0. Announced at a press conference by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, the initiative aims to issue land passbooks to all landowners within two years.

Launched at Srimanta Sankardeva Kalakshetra in Guwahati, the mission seeks to provide services initially missing in Basundhara 1.0 and 2.0, striving to resolve legacy problems once and for all.
